Packers tried to trade for DJ Moore...

[Mr. Scot]

...but were rebuffed.

From the article:

The Packers also called on Panthers WR D.J. Moore, sources say, but it was a non-starter for a Carolina team that wanted to keep its young core together.

Trading DJ would have cost us more than it would have been worth.  Next year though... thats a different story.

Looking at how WR contracts are structered, idk why ppl want to get rid of D.J.

really good deal for the talent level.

You need WRs, OL, PRs, and obviously a QB. I imagine it would take a lot to move a young talented player at any of these positions. LBs, RBs, TEs can be replaced by a serviceable player for pretty cheap. 

We have our OL set, a young talented WR and one that’s starting to flash in TMJ, a young talented PR in Burns, and an anchor in Brown. Chinn and Horn come in and give us talent at all levels of the defense (assuming we eventually get Chinn back at LB). There is no need to strip this roster down. Just add a young QB in the draft and develop him.

Before the contract, I would have been ok with a trade.  Assuming the compensation was enough.

Now that we've traded CMC and Robby and DJ is extended, I really don't see the point.  We need somebody on offense for a QB to throw to.

Interesting. Can't blame the Packers for trying, but clearly we're not giving up DJ. I'm excited to see what he and TMJ can become by season's end if PJ keeps up even decent QB play. Might be an eye opener.

I'm not sure if the tweet for a second was for Claypool only or all of them.  DJ is far more valuable than a 2nd and I am glad we didn't trade him for a 2nd.

I get not trading DJ, but I just read an updated report that the Rams offered two 1sts AND a 2nd rd pick for Burns. Just absolutely stupid to turn that down.

Has to be just about Claypool, that’s Green Bay’s FO trying to make it look like they made the same offer Chicago made and it’s not their fault that they didn’t get him.

[rippadonn]

That's right! 

[hepcat]

Depending on what they were offering I would have listened but considering the Packers struck out on all these deals it seems like they were being cheap asses 

[Khyber53]

I really, really like DJ and I really can't stand Rodgers.

Win-win in my book.

The second round pick was for Claypool but the Steelers felt the Bears second round pick would be a higher pick than the Packers so they went with that. Plus, I love Justin Fields, but no offense.... Claypool would look significantly better with Rodgers throwing to him than Fields. If he plays up to his potential it looks like fair value for Chicago and Pitt. If he boomed under Rodgers the Steelers would look like they got robbed.

That's a HAUL!! I like Burns, bit he's not worth that. Not many players are.
